After two games out of the squad, captain Fábio Luciano trained normally on Wednesday afternoon and is confirmed for Sunday's match against Grêmio at the Olympic Stadium. The player celebrated his return to the field.

- "I'm feeling really good. It's a great joy to be able to play again. Nobody likes to be left out. Now it's time to work these three days to play a great game on Sunday."

The red-and-black defender believes in a very competitive game against the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

- "It's going to be a huge challenge. The Grêmio team is well-assembled and has a very competent coach. They had a great result in the first round and there will be a lot of pressure at the Olímpico."

Even knowing the difficulties of the game, Fábio Luciano is confident in a good result for the team from Gávea.

- "We respect Grêmio, but we're going after the win. Caio Júnior has already spoken with us and explained the main strengths and weaknesses of their team. We have to get as many points as possible in the first few rounds."
